Today I met this woman’s teenage son, who I have heard a good bit about.  She goes to my gym and her son has recently overcome cancer.  He was going to Children’s and has been discharged.  He’s skinny, naturally skinny from the looks of it, but he looks healthy and happy as can be.

As I was being introduced to him, I heard her mom say “this is who I’ve been telling you about.”  That’s when I realized how much of an impact the lifestyle I choose to live carries over.  That’s when, in the dead middle of my workout, I realized a whole new path that I could write a book.

Each stage of my life, even a short 5 month part of my life, seems to have been impactful to someone (if not many people).  Taking the idea about the lessons and knowledge I have learned across my life, I’m going to shift the way I present the content in my book to come off more universally.  In other words, I think rewriting An Uncharted Life to solely focus on what drives me will be as equally as impactful as the book I just created, and wioll be even more universal for an audience to read.

I can’t believe I’m considering writing a book again, but I’m excited about it.  I’ve got more to say, a new way to say it and lots of momentum to get it written.

I looked into the elementary ed program at my college last night.  Since I completed undergrad at my college, I can apply straight into a graduate program without taking any entrance exams…and I’m loved at that school, which doesn’t hurt at all.  Both my parents have told me that they regret not getting their teaching certification, and both of my parents are fully supportive of me becoming an elementary school teacher.

I’m beyond excited about this move.  Everyone that I have told has told me that they can definitely see me as a teacher, and each of them has commented on how much I love kids.  It helps that I’m such a big kid too, haha.

More to come.  I have to make a few calls, but I’ll have some updates soon!

I sat down last night and started writing again.  After finishing my first book and reading through it, I realized there is a completely different story line I could and want to convey that will change the arcs and transitions completely.  I think it took writing the first book to show me what I wanted to talk about, and then reading through it allowed me to discover what I missed and where I went astray.  Tangents happen, but now I have a new, and I believe stronger, foundation for how I want this new book to develop and be conveyed.  There’s a lot more to come!  I’m going to hopefully sit down tonight and write page two.  We’ll see what comes, but I’m looking forward to going through the exciting, and stressful, process of rediscovery as I tell my story in a completely different manner.

Plenty to come very soon!  Have a great week everyone and thank you for your continued support!
